Dauphin Highlands was listed for sale in 2025 for more than $45 million as the Dauphin County General Authority wrestled with $13 million in debt. The property ultimately sold for $45 million to Harrisburg I LLC, with Texas-based developer Corscale planning a $10.5 billion Highlands data center campus on the site.<\/p>\n
The data center still needs additional approvals and permits, but there is no such uncertainty surrounding the golf course. Its run is over.<\/p>\n

Dauphin Highlands Golf Course in Harrisburg, Pa., is closing to become an AI data center.<\/p>\n
That brought golfers out for one final trip around a place that had been part of their lives for years.<\/p>\n
“This is like a top-tier public course,” Doc Greenlee told WGAL-TV<\/a>. “Like, you can compare this to a lot of other areas in Pennsylvania \u2026 this is up there on layout and conditions and the way they take care of it. So, it’s going to be a little bit of a shame to see this go.”<\/p>\n For Greenlee, who grew up playing Dauphin Highlands, the loss went well beyond having one fewer place to tee it up.<\/p>\n “I owe a lot to this course and it’s sad to see it go, but it’s one of the best in the area by far,” he said. “It’s bittersweet. It’s kind of like a funeral out here.”<\/p>\n The redevelopment has generated mixed feelings locally. Corscale recently offered Swatara Township a $120 million community benefits package, roughly six times the township’s budget. Developers have said work could begin in 2027, with the data centers potentially completed in 2028.<\/p>\n For golfers who spent Monday squeezing in one last round at Dauphin Highlands, however, the numbers attached to what comes next did little to soften what was disappearing.<\/p>\n
